Could you have told me this BEFORE I gave mine to Dave Dunfield? :-)
(No don't worry Dave, I don't want it back! :-) Frankly I don't think
they were that rare - maybe they are now.
I kept the Xebec controller and the 20Meg drive I was using for the
exact purpose you described (my workbench floppy had just enough
drivers on it to load janus.library and then pass control to a
startup-sequence on the HD). Still trying to extract the data off
that...
